7. Be sure that the two vertical plates on the
sweeper mounting tube are in contact
with the fork mounting rack of the forklift.
8. Perform the following steps using both
mounting straps.
9. Fully open the ratchet handle, as shown,
to unlock the restraining strap.
10. Pull out a short length of the strap.
Note: Pulling out an excessive amount of
strap may result in the strap coming off
of the ratchet drum. To reattach the strap
onto the ratchet drum, thread the free end
of the strap through, then one inch past
the slot in the ratchet drum. Be sure that
the free end of the strap remains one inch
past the drum as you operate the ratchet
handle. Continue until the strap makes at
least one full wrap around the drum.
11. Wrap the strap around the forklift fork
mounting rack as shown and hook the
metal strap end onto the retaining pin.
12. Operate the ratchet handles to tighten
the restraining strap. Tighten the strap
until the slack is removed, then continue
tightening one more ratchet tooth (click).
Do not over tighten the straps.
13. Raise the sweeper only high enough to
clear the ground.
FOR SAFETY: Do not raise the sweeper
off of the ground unless the body of the
sweeper is in line and centered with the
fork tube.
Note: Raise the sweeper off of the ground
before driving the forklift in reverse.
Attempting to drive the forklift in reverse
with the sweeper on the ground may
result in damage to the sweeper.
